Kotobukiya prepares to ship Star Wars chopsticks.

By Jesse Schedeen

The nice thing about being a Star Wars fan is that there is a collectible for just about any occasion. These days you can even buy a sleeping bag in the form of a Tauntaun, complete with a lightsaber-shaped zipper.

If you want something equally functional but slightly less disturbing and liable to warp the minds of young children, you can turn to the folks at Kotobukiya. Koto have been working with the Star Wars license for a while, pumping out statues of various popular Star Wars characters. But earlier this year they branched out with their line of Star Wars-themed chopsticks. Trust us, you haven't experienced sushi until you pluck up a salmon roll with two tiny lightsabers.

Koto sent us the latest images of their upcoming lightsaber chopsticks. This time fans can get their hands on miniature replicas of Yoda, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader's lightsabers.

Each chopstick bundle comes in pairs of two, and fans can choose between a Yoda & Luke set or a Yoda and Darth Vader set. Luke and Vader's chopsticks measure about nine-inches long. Fittingly, Yoda's lightsaber is designed for younger children and measures at 8-inches.

Each chopstick is cast in a translucent material to mimic the appearance of a "real" lightsaber. Each pair of sabers also includes a transparent display base. Both the Yoda & Luke and Yoda & Vader sets are priced at $19.99 and are expected to ship this December.
